The 
most often heard word this week was ‘cenotaph’. A word I thought was supposed to be spelled as xenotaph: I already associated the word cenotaph with a monument for the unknown soldier. Hence the xeno. Misheard that one.
Other thing that stuck this week: ’eminent gris’. It’s often used in Dutch (it’s actually French of course) to describe a person of great stature. I like ’eminent gris’, because the first word comes close to the pronunciation of the English word iminent. A droit!
Talking about grey, we had some flurries today. The inevitable has started. We are doomed. There’s a bright side to that, naturally: Weather Canada’s seasonal forecasts1 look good for Nova Scotia. We’re above normal temperatures! Good bye snow, hello Fundy palm trees!
1 Weather Canada’s Seasonal forecast site is without doubt an amazing site for statistics fans. Their one year animation is simply amazing. Or their pages on El Nino.
